Matching Gifts

If you volunteer in any capacity (Coach, Snack Shack, Team Parent, etc), check with your employer and see if they have a matching gifts program for volunteer hours. Those matching dollars help MCLL stay within budget and provide the services that make Mill Creek Little league as great as it is!

 

TOC Champions!

The Mill Creek White Sox (Majors BB) are the TOC Champions!
The White Sox did it in an amazing come from behind fashion, trailing Pacific 8-1 in the second inning before rallying to an 11-9 victory. Every player on the team contributed to the victory but fortunes were definitely turned in our favor by a 2-run double from Colton Matter. What an amazing game, tournament, and season!!
Congratulations White Sox!

Thunder Win Monfiletto Invitational
Mill Creek Thunder Softball team wins the 1st annual Tony Monfiletto Invitational
over a tough Marysville team 8-7
.

The score went back and forth all game. Mill Creek was the home team and Marysville was up 7-6 in the bottom of the 6th. Some timely hitting and some great base running by Mill Creek, put the tying run on 3rd and the go ahead run on 2nd. A past ball scored the tying run, runner on 2nd advances to 3rd and a perfectly laid bunt scores an aggressive runner sliding into home for the winning run! Great job girls!!!

A huge Thank You goes out to South Snohomish Little League for a great tournament!!!!

2013 Volunteer of the Year

2013 MCLL Volunteer of the Year

The 2013 Ed Lundberg Volunteer of the Year Award recipient is Keith Cottingham. Keith is being recognized for his service to the league. Here are some quick facts about Keith's service to the league:

  • Keith has been an MCLL Board member since 2009, and a Coach at multiple levels of Baseball and Softball since 2007.
  • In 2012, Keith oversaw a successful Softball program that sent MCLL's first ever Softball State Champion to San Bernardino, CA. This was MCLL's first Softball State Champion since 2006, and it's first State Champion team of any kind since 2008.
  • Before Keith took over the softball program in 2010, MCLL had never before fielded three Softball All Star teams in the same year. Under Keith's Leadership, MCLL has now fielded three Softball All Star teams each year for three straight years (2010-2012) - a remarkable accomplishment.
  • In 2012, two of the MCLL's Softball All Star teams won District Championships in the same year - another first for MCLL.
  • On top of his duties as VP of softball in 2012, Keith also managed to help coach a Majors Softball team AND a Juniors Baseball team.

Keith has been an outstanding leader for MCLL. Keith's many years of hard work have allowed MCLL to build a highly successful softball program that resulted in a State Championship in 2012.

2013 Softball
 
MCLL Graduates 3 from Western Region Umpire School

Mill Creek Little League sent 3 umpires to San Bernardino Western Region Little League Headquaters 9 February through 16 February for the intensive WRLL Umpires Clinic.  About 40 umpires from throughout WRLL attended this residence camp (YES, we lived in the player barracks) featuring 15 hour days and emphasizing both mechanics (how an umpire positions themselves on the field) and rules/regs.  Mill Creek Little League now features 6 active WRLL Umpire School trained umpires, more than any league in the state and more than most districts. Our past graduates willing to take a week of vacation time for this arduous adventure include Al Gingras, Tim Kerber and Rahvie Pagely. Recent grads are from left in the image Frank Nemec, Tony MacKAY (your's truly) and Daniel Mills. Each umpire ALSO thanks Mill Creek Little League for their commitment to umpire development and education. 


 
2013 Open Board Position

Mill Creek Little League still has some open board positions for the 2013 season! The MCLL Board of Directors traditionally meets once a month, with few exceptions, for approximately two hours on Sunday evenings. Board members should expect to be prepared to discuss issues openly and provide input as appropriate. Because of the issues that the Board will address on behalf of its general membership, it is expected that Board members attend all meetings to allow them to make informed statements and votes.

General Board Positions:

Rookies Director - Softball

If you are interested in any of the above positions or would like to know more about them, please email the league President president@millcreeklittleleague.com.

 
Important Reminder

IMPORTANT REMINDER: Volunteer Registration and Badge information

Anyone who wishes to volunteer in a position that will interact with players must complete and submit the required documentation (listed below) and pass a background check to be issued a volunteer identification badge. This year, all Snack Shack Volunteers also need to have a badge.

  • Volunteer Application - the volunteer application needs to be either completed in hard copy, completed using a .pdf writer software (and then printed and submitted), or a printed volunteer form from registration.
  • Please note: the application must include social security number (if there is not a field/line for it, anywhere on the paper is fine) and must be signed
  • Driver's License - a copy of the applicant's unexpired driver's license must be provided
  • Digital Photo - a digital photo of the applicant (if the applicant has volunteered with MCLL in the past couple years, we may have the picture on file)
    • Please note: if there is any question about whether we have a photo or not, the suggestion is to submit one

All of these items can be emailed directly to president@millcreeklittleleague.com or mailed to us at PO Box 12445, Mill Creek, WA 98082.

Parents and guardians who have only completed the volunteer application form via online player registration have not met the requirements and must complete the above process.

Your completed badges can be picked up at the Snack Shack which is open when there are games being played at Freedom Field.
